It shows up in the wiring diagrams, but appears optional for 60A alternator cars. That doesn't make sense No matter how responsible he may seem, never give your gun to a monkey! 1970 Coronet Vert 1972 Charger 1974 Satellite Sebring Plus Sundance 2001 Ram 4x4 2002 Intrepid 2006 300C

Next is the headlight harness. Problem is still all the wires we melted under the dash. I think we melted the main junction. I will be looking into that tomorrow.

I had harness probs and I finally just bought a good used complete underdash harness from a good guy (Steve Remington) on FABO. I finally realized the time to sort it was a waste and you're in a worse spot with burnt/hacked stuff. Good luck w it. PS What is LMAO ? Only acronym I never used on here EDIT & that in/out would not be thru the bulkhead but 2 seperate firewall holes/wires Last edited by RapidRobert; 11/06/11 11:51 AM. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

Teh fix is to wire it directly to the starter relay, then go through the bukhead.
